The effects of rhythm control strategies versus rate control strategies for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter: A systematic review with meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter may be managed by either a rhythm control strategy or a rate control strategy but the evidence on the clinical effects of these two intervention strategies is unclear. Our objective was to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of rhythm control strategies versus rate control strategies for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. METHODS We...
متن کاملTowards better management of chronic atrial fibrillation.
Important lessons should be drawn from two recently published randomised clinical trials comparing rhythm control and rate control strategies directed at the management of chronic atrial fibrillation in representative patient populations. In the larger Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM) trial, 4060 patients were followed up for an average of 3.5 years, the...
متن کاملSelective vagal stimulation for rate control in atrial fibrillation.
Several recent randomized clinical trials comparing strategies based on control of ventricular rate versus those based on maintenance of sinus rhythm in elderly or high risk patients with atrial fibrillation have recently been reported.1,2 Preliminary data from these trials suggest that the 2 strategies can produce roughly equivalent clinical outcomes. For individual patients, either approach m...
متن کاملOne‑year follow‑up of the Polish subset of the RecordAF registry of patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION Data on real-life management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Poland is limited. OBJECTIVES To present data on 1-year follow-up of patients from Poland included in a worldwide registry on patients with AF (RecordAF). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with recent onset AF were included (n=303). Treatment strategy (rhythm or rate control) was noted at baseline. Therapeutic success (con...
متن کاملStroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: pharmacological rate versus rhythm control.
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia associated with increased risk for embolic stroke. Restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation is a logical strategy to prevent the cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications of this dysrhythmia. The most common strategy for restoration of sinus rhythm is pharmacological antiarrhythmic therapy with or without electrical cardio...
